Listening to this song, I realized Plain White T's is a rock band for the first time. That's probably because Hey There Delilah is strongly associated with them in my mind. It was a ballad in which the narrator keeps asking his girlfriend, Delilah not to worry. In fact, it's him who worries most, not her who's left for New York.
Hate (Plain White T's)
Woo!
You were everything I wanted
You were everything a girl could be
Then you left me brokenhearted
Now you do not mean a thing to me
All I wanted was your
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Hate is a strong word
But I really, really, really don't like you
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you
Brought you around
And you just brought me down
Hate is a strong word
But I really, really, really don't like you
I really don't like you...
Thought that everything was perfect
Isn't that how it's supposed to be
Thought you thought that I was worth it
Now I think a little differently
All I wanted was your
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Hate is a strong word
But I really, really, really don't like you
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you
Brought you around
And you just brought me down
Hate is a strong word
But I really, really, really don't like you
Now that it's over
You can't hurt me
Now that it's over
You can't bring me down
(Oh, oh...)
All I wanted was your
Love, love, love, love, love, love
Hate is a strong word
But I really, really, really don't like you
(I really don't like you)
Now that it's over
I don't even know what I liked about you
(I liked about you)
Brought you around
And you just brought me down
(Hate) Hate is a strong word
But I really, really, really don't like you
I really don't like you
I really don't like you
I really don't like you
お前がいればよかったし
最高の女だったよ
なのに俺をさっさと捨てて,ボロボロに傷つけた
だけどもう,お前なんかどうでもいいよ
あの頃は,ただひたすらに思ってた
振り向いてくれないかって
死ねばいいとは思わないけど
大嫌いなのは間違いないね
こうやって別れてみたら
一体どこに惚れたのかって,もうそれさえわからない
どこだって,お前を一緒に連れてったのに
お前は俺を傷つけただけ
死ねばいいとは思わないけど
大嫌いなのは間違いないね
顔も見たくないんだよ
なにもかも完璧だって,そんな風に思ってた
だってそういうものだから
相応しい相手だと思われてるんだって,あの頃信じていたけれど
今はそうとも思えない
あの頃は,ただひたすらに思ってたけど
振り向いてくれないかって
死ねばいいとは思わないけど
大嫌いなのは間違いないね
こうやって別れてみたら
一体どこに惚れたのかって,もうそれさえわからない
どこだって,お前を一緒に連れてったのに
お前は俺を傷つけただけ
死ねばいいとは思わないけど
大嫌いなのは間違いないね
ただもう終わったことだから
何をされても関係ないし
お前と縁が切れたから
もうこれ以上傷つかないよ
あの頃は,ただひたすらに思ってたけど
振り向いてくれないかって
死ねばいいとは思わないけど
大嫌いなのは間違いないね
(顔も見たくないんだよ)
こうやって別れてみたら
一体どこに惚れたのかって,もうそれさえわからない
(顔も見たくないんだよ)
どこだって,お前を一緒に連れてったのに
お前は俺を傷つけただけ
死ねばいいとは思わないけど
大嫌いなのは間違いないね
顔も見たくないんだよ
(余談)
この曲がいつ作られたのかわかりませんが,歌詞を読んでいると,自分を捨てて行った恋人に業を煮やした主人公が逆上する,Hey There Delilahの後日談のように思えます。
